FIGURE 7 in Relationship between fish assemblage structure and predictors related to estuarine productivity in shallow habitats of a Neotropical estuary

FIGURE 7 | The first two axes from the distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) that correlate the structure of the shallow water fish assemblage and predictors (in bold; from the fitted model) sampled from May 2000 to April 2001 in the north-south axis of the Paranaguá Bay Estuarine Complex (southern Brazilian coast). ED = early dry season (April–June), LD = Late dry season (July–September), EW = early rainy season (October–December) and LW = late rainy season (January–March). Achirus lineatus = Ac.li; Bathygobius soporator = Ba.so; Chaetodipterus faber = Ch.fa; Eucinostomus argenteus = Eu.ar; Menticirrhus americanus = Me.am; M. littoralis = Me.li; Sphoeroides greeleyi = Sp.gr; S. testudineus = Sp.te; Trachinotus carolinus = Tr.ca; T. falcatus = Tr.fa; T. goodei = Tr.go; T. marginatus = Tr.ma. Only species with Pearson correlation coefficient |r| ≥ 0.3 with the axes are shown. Percentage explained by the axis (fitted) and total variation explained by the model are provided on the axes.
